I hadn't thought of trees explicitly, I was working the branching
geometries of neural dendrites and crystals. But trees are a fine example
as well, and the exemplar of the class of all tree structures. I thought
the branchedness of the blood flow into and out of the liver was the whole
point
Roger -
Interesting to introduce Dendrometry (tree growth) as _yet another_
metaphorical target domain beyond the liquid flow, erosion/sedimentation
of rivers.
Is there something in tree (plants in general?) growth that is
specifically apt for this purpose? Or were you perhaps using
Ah, the dendrometriy of the software must agree with those of the organ.
Speaking of categorical imperatives, anyone trying to follow John Baez'
online course in Applied Category Theory?

Conflux is the the place where two rivers join. More generally in a
directed acyclic graph I would say junction node or use the negative
non-leaf nodes

I was thinking dendrite -- which refers to branching structures in crystals
as well as neurons -- this dawn, the proper portmanteau would then be
dendrectic or dendrexus.

They say Germans have a word for everything because we can chain words together
like pearls on a string. In German I would say "Netzwerkverzweigung"
(network-branching/bifurcation) or "Netzwerkverdichtung"
(network-consolidation/concentration). In one case the density decreases, in
the other
